      Description: double action airbrush , bottom feed

      The Eclipse BCS bottom feed airbrush with its 0.5mm needle and nozzle combination, continues to set the industry standard for high performing, general purpose, high paint flow airbrushes. And the new Eclipse models feature the same attributes that made the original Eclipse so popular–versatility, reliability and performance.

      Pros: Fast color changes and price
      Cons:

      I bought the Eclipse BCS as a cost effective second brush. I like the way color changes go quickly with this brush. It is the primary brush that I use if I am going to paint a t-shirt. I am very new to this artform and art in general. The Eclipse has been a good "friend". I have found it to feel differently than my top feed brushes but that is not something that can't be over come with practice. It's probably more of a lack of experience thing that something to do with the brush.

      Pros: Works as well as the HP-C
      Cons: Nada

      Again, being a newbe, this AB works and functions as well as the HP-C. Nicely balenced and easy to care for. IMO you can't get a better AB for the price

      Pros: Great for Thicker paints, even artists tube acrylics
      Cons: None I can think of

      I boought my one over ebay thinking I needed a good AB for back-grounds. As it turns out, I find I am using it more and more for general purpose work. Even though it has a .5mm nozzle, I can lines just as fine as the .35mm eclipse. The nozzle are cheaper than the .35mm eclipse as well.

      Pros: Single needle size for all line widths, replacement parts priced reasonable,
      Cons: Can\'t get stipple by taking crown cap off like you can with the micron

      This thing rocks!!! From illustration all the way to Tees it can handle anything you throw at it... does well with all types of paints and I find that it is more forgiving with paint thickness...Less prone to clogging too....

      Pros:
      Cons:

      BCS has a pretty wide spray angle which makes it great for covering large areas. Yet is is very easy to controll for smaller details. The spray patterns is very narrow or very wide depending on the trigger position.

      Handles thick paints very well and it is quick to clean up.
      My favoirite unless I\'m doing serious detailing or small paintings.

      I\'d suggest this as a first brush for every beginner because of the all-purpose nature and easy control.

      Pros: No clogging, great price, great brush!
      Cons: None

      Wow, what a great airbrush. After using a different suction feed for a while, then trying this brush, it\'s just amazing the difference between the two. I\'ve been using Createx fabric paint which tends to clog my old brush terribly with awful tip dry. I used this brush for about two hours without a bit of tip dry or clogging, even with white, which has a tendency to clog a lot. This is a great brush. My only only regret is that I didn\'t get this one first! Definitely give it a try.

      Pros: Durability / Reliability Coupled with easy of assembly
      Cons: node to date I know of

      If used in the right application its great of course if your trying to do super fine lines
      Well simply put I just bought a smaller brush for the fine stuff.


      Nice brush without a dought well worth its price.

      Pros: Wide pattern to fine lines
      Cons: a little hard on the wrist after many hours

      Very versatile, tough airbrush, good for all around stuff. I have sprayed thinned latex out of it no problem, and it can stand a good amount of abuse. The nozzles can be a little fragile tho.

      Highly recommended.

      Pros: Versatle, workhorse, handles thick paints well
      Cons: nozzle is the weakest part

      Bought one when they first came out and never looked back. I use this brush for everything I do textile art, murals, fine art, automotive art, body art and then some. Brush is a must have from the amateur to the elite aritst. minimal cloging smooth flow even with thick paints. Good balanced weight. Nozzle is the only part one needs to replace depending on the wear and tear one gives it

      Pros: Good quality airbrush !
      Cons: Bottom feed uses more paint than a top feed and needs a little higher Pressure to use siphon

      It is the second best airbrush I own. Very good for T shirt and all around general purpose. I consider my best ab to be my HP-C Highline but the eclipse is usually weapon if choice.

      Pros: Smooth Action, High Volume Output , Quality Product
      Cons: None

      The best airbrush in its class. For pro's this is a moneymaker, consistent, reliable. For newbies you can concentrate on learning how to operate an airbrush & progressing.

      Pros: great detail, tough and versatile
      Cons:

      This is my second choice brush (very close to first). It will shoot anything you put through it and do great detail work too.
      Great price and a workhorse of a brush .................I love it!

      Cons: none

      After using the brush for the first time, I was sold on it. Easy to clean, quick color changes and sprays well. This is the one for me.

      Pros: Very good all around brush. Like the fact I'm not changing nozzles and tips all the time.
      Cons: should have bought it first

      I have a testors and a Paache VL. They have dust on the boxes now that I have this AB. This AB is just fun to use. and easy to change colors when doing art work or T's. Love it!!
